Federal takeover of local governments, putting the military out to police our streets

Fascist intimidation tactics, right here in the USA

Yep, think they will be gone in 48 hours?
Think they will go to congress to extend the military occupation?

Of course not.

BTW - did anyone else notice that it looked like kegsbreath was being held hostage?
I think if he blinked his eyelids said "Help Me!"

Anything to deflect from the fact that his name is in the Epstein files,

and that he moved the main witness to a posh Texas facility...

The GOP are now:

Guardians
Of
Pedophiles

Perhaps DC should be our 51st state. Seems appropriate now.

Judege BoxWine said people/juveniles who commit crime in DC will now suffer real consequences and not just go to Yoga and Arts and Crafts classes.

Ironical that Trump just moved a woman convicted for her role in a scheme to sexual exploit and abuse multiple minor girls with Jeffrey Epstein over the course of a decade into a club fed camp where she can now do yoga classes and take Arts and Craft classes.

That was a priority for Trump.
Go Figure.

No kidding!
Please tell me someone in the press corps called them out on that.
Or is it just OAN, Newsmax, and Breitbart at this point?
Anyone ask about improving the opportunities for the inner city kids they want to terrorize?

No kidding.
Actually doing something to solve and prevent the problem isn't as headline worthy as posturing as a tough guy who is going to use our military against it's own citizens.

Remember, Trump doesn't actually solve anything.

Not long ago he was pissed that "inner city" people didn't step up to pick the crops after he ICE raided farms and took away the brown people...and the crops were rotting in the fields.
BTW - "inner city" is his code word for black people.

Well. Progs have had decades to do that and, of course, failed miserably. Obama even took away school vouchers for the kids. Trump restored that.

Hmmmmmmm, , , , , , 'DC' is a Federal 'District'.

Why would the Federal government not control it?

-------------------------

It does.

-------------------------
I :heart; Q

Its not a state so the feds share authority with their statelike counterparts. Its time for them to be a state and have their own police.

Progs are up in arms about someone trying to reduce crime. Progs are pro-crime.

-------------------------
I :heart; Q

crime in D.C is at a 30 year low.

-------------------------
It was fun while it lasted.

You are confusing progs with your Pro-Pedophilia

Come on Farmer Ped, pay attention hahaha

We have certain things in common Jeffrey..

Yeah, let's normalize an autocrats use of a false pretext to impose government control over local law enforcement as a prelude to a more national takeover (he rambled at the podium today about his plans to do it in other cities besides LA and DC).

This has played out so well throughout history.

Aren't these the same people telling us we need shrink the federal government's services, power, influence, and control?

only when democrats are in office.

-------------------------
It was fun while it lasted.

Ummmmmmm, , , , , so, , ,

I saw an article 'headline' about this this morning, , , ,

The line included a "even though the crime rate is decreasing" kinda comment.

Ya, ya, sure, sure.

The District of Columbia is the Nation's Capital!

When the crime rate becomes LOWER than the National 'average', we will talk about 'giving it back".

Oh and, sorry but, , , , 'demographics' and "those poor people" have NO PLACE in this argument.
